Hurricanes = People & Stupidity

Have y'all heard of this guy?
Well, it appears that I am about to experience my first Hurricane. I'm a little apprehensive about it, but not as hyped up as most since I wasn't in LA for that big mean bitch they called Katrina or her almost as cranky sister Rita. The b/f says he did have a few trees come down and lost power for several days. But hell, that can happen in any storm really. Went through that 2 summers ago in St. Louis. So, I'm not panicked, just sitting back and waiting with my well stocked pantry, batteries and camping supplies nearby for in case they are needed.

What's getting me is the total laziness and stupidity of people. For those of ya that remember, I work for that horrible business of insurance. Do you know how many people have called me today cause they have not bothered to purchase property insurance and suddenly need it today? Or just discovered the policy they have doesn't cover wind. It's like a zoo here! Come on people, it's called being RESPONSIBLE! You wait till a major hurricane is coming before you decide you need to buy coverage and then get pissy cause the companies have stopped writing it? Don't ya think people would've learned something from August 2005?
I'm just saying, think of this shit before the storm is projected to hit your ass.
KGrams who is now not in the best of moods due to exhaustion and dealing with stupidity.

And the Answers Are...

First of all, blogger is being a biatch... and has decided it will allow me to sign in and post comments on my own blog at it's convenience. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr So If ya have someone you like better and ya don't mind sharing, please let me know.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. (Asked by the Undercover Mutha & Tammy) Where is Doodlebug/Grand baby and what is she up to? Doodlebug is still back in St. Louis. : ( I miss her tremendously!!! She is doing well, getting bigger everyday. I can't believe she is 3 1/2 years old now.





This pic was taken 12/27/07 when I went back to STL to spend some time with her for Christmas. Do NOT look at the fat chick in the pic - horizontal stripes are not a big girl's friend. LOL



2. (Asked by the fab Melissa) Why do you look so fantastically hot? Can I get some of what you're on? Please sister, I am so not hot, but thank you very much. I wish I could say I'm on something really good, but I'm not, it's called... willpower and it SUCKS big time. : )



3. (From the ranting and raving Tammy) How did you lose the weight? I quit eating. That is I rarely eat junk food or fast food and I don't eat out. We cook at home every night and I take leftovers for my lunch. Also, I don't eat past 7:30 at night... I have now moved this rule up to 6:30 as I have quit losing and need to jump start it again. It has been a tremendous struggle involving a lot of willpower and walking for exercise. And that man of mine is nooooooo help at all. Do ya know what it's like to live with a coon ass that was taught to cook by his maw maw and loves to cook. The man is slowly killing me with good smells. I told him he needed to break my jaw for me so I could have my mouth wired shut... he wouldn't even help me out with that. Damn men. lol

4. (Once again from the ranting and raving Tammy) What part of LA are you in? I'm down in South East Louisiana... BR.

Anything else on your mind? If so, please comment as I love getting comments!

Just received this in an email. I laughed so hard... knew I had to share it with y'all.

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay , Jamaica . Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. People would say, 'What a peaceful & lovingcouple' The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage. The Husband replied: 'Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America ,' explained the man. 'We visited the Grand Canyon, in Arizona , and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon, by horse. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off. My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, 'That's once.' We proceeded a little further and her horse stumbled again. Again my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time my wife quietly removed a revolverfrom her purse and shot the horse dead.

I SHOUTED at her, 'What's wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that, are you f*ckin crazy!?' She looked at ME, and quietly said, 'That's once.' And from that moment.....'we have lived happily ever after.'

Anyone got an Ark???

Cause if Faye don't take her wet ass elsewhere soon, I'm gonna need one.

WTF, my first August in south Louisiana and has only been up in the 90's a few days and my yard looks like a swamp. I should have taken a picture of it yesterday, poor Brutus couldn't go outside as the standing water was up past his little legs. (Makes note to start carrying camera around again for blogging pics.) Guess that's what happens when global warming hits, everything gets hotter and dries up. Send AL Gore here and let him take a look. Better yet, never mind, he can stay where he is.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know...

First of all... a big THANK YOU for the welcome backs and the positive comments. Y'all are great for a girl's ego.

I noticed I have a LOT of clean up to do on my blog... correcting links and such, so bare with me in the next few weeks while I dust off the cob webs and get this thing back up and running. With all the changes in my life, maybe I'll divorce this blogger bitch too and move onto someone else. If ya got someone better ya really like, let me know.

To answer your question TKW.. Yes, I am now living down in Louisiana. WOO HOO, I'm now a Southern Girl! I am soooo loving it. Hey anytime I can pick out a xmas tree in shorts and flip flops, I am a happy camper woman. I said sooooooooooo long to the ice and snow of the midwest and ain't missing it a bit.

Now I know y'all are wondering WTF has she been doing and what is going on... like I said, a LOT happened in 2007/2008. So, don't be shy (like some of you ever could be hehehe) and ask away and I'll answer. At least that way, it will give me something to blog about. lol

Me first though... Where, oh where is Easily Amused??? I know she doesn't keep up her blog, but is she at least reading and commenting on y'alls? Do I need to give her a sisterly nudge in the pants? Not to worry, it won't be too hard of a nudge, I live 700 miles away from her now. : (

Time to get back to work so.... Happy Friday and Have a Great Weekend!

It's been awhile...

Wow, has it really been almost a year since I've posted. Why didn't someone poke me and wake my ass up??? (Mandy, I believe that is your job. lol)

Well, A LOT has changed in the past 11 months....

Let's see, where do I begin...

1) I lost my job.
2) I found a new even better job. YEAH
3) Lost more weight. (Luckily I haven't found any of it to get ti back. lol)
4) I moved to a new State.
5) I have a new "Little Man" in my life.

I'll start at the beginning.. On July 17, 1967 early one morning... no wait, that's waaaaaay to far back. How about we start with Sept 2007. When my bf found out that I had lost my job, he agreed that I should still come see him in Louisiana to recuperate from my surgery and should look for in Louisiana. I immediately started putting out my resume. I arrived on a Sat, had my first interview on Monday, my 2nd interview and hiring occurred on Friday. I picked him up from work (had to borrow his car, mine was still in Missouri) and said... I hope you really do love me, cause I just accepted the position and I'm staying.

Fast forward some.... the company decided to open a new office that is only 20/30 minutes from my house vs 2 hours and they asked me to run the office. So, now I have opened a new office and am marketing my butt off. YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I have lost a few more lbs. Not an easy task when living in a State that loves to eat and with a man that can cook his ass off. I haven't lost any in the past few months, but eventually I will take off my last 20 lbs to reach my 100lb goal.

Here's a current pic of me....


Sorry it's not real good, but hard to take with a cell phone by yourself. lol

And now for the most exciting thing in my life... we have a new little man in our home. He is 8 weeks old, full of energy and spunk and such a joy to have around.


This my friends is "Brutus". Apparently, he does not realize that he is a tiny 1.7lb puppy that will only grow to be 4 lbs max. He thinks he is a big tough guy and so was aptly named.

This is all for now... Hey, I know it's not much, but it's the first time in a long time I've posted and it took me freaking 15 minutes just to get my password reset so give a girl a break.
Hope to see y'all soon!!!
